IRL RESOLUTIONS Otherwise known as 'Realistic Resolutions’ (only that took up too much space). Because – despite the fact that Look HQ will be forgoing our usual Krispy Kreme elevenses like the best of ’em – we shall also be using this month to get a bit more real with one another. Take our bumper Look Fit special (pg 25), packed with actually useful tricks for all levels – whether you’re a fitness aficionado or a novice who breaks out in a sweat at the very mention of the word 'gym’. Because while 3/5 of the UK will be clad in athleisure this week, let’s not kid ourselves that we’ll be wearing it solely for workouts (as anyone who’s eaten Sunday lunch in yoga pants can attest). Perhaps you, like…

While the world’s obsession with all things Scandi is nothing new, it shows no sign of abating any time soon. It’s hardly surprising: after all this is the region that gave us brands like Acne and Ganni – both of which have become the foundation of every cool girl’s wardrobe (Alexa Chung, we’re looking at you). But don’t think Scandi status is reserved for the rich and famous; for SS17 there’s a high street gem waiting to be discovered. Step forward Lindex: you might think it’s a quiet, unassuming destination that deals in pretty lingerie, but this season it’s so much more than that. In fact, one glance at the Swedish label’s new lookbook and you’d be forgiven for thinking you were checking out the new collection from J. Crew.…

While Jen’s feeling great about her body, her boyfriend Darren is also bringing 'sexy back’. At Look we couldn’t help but notice the 47-year-old’s canny resemblance to Justin Timberlake, 35. And Darren’s edgy image is sure to spark butterflies, as J-Law had a secret crush on JT as a teen. In a 2013 interview, she confessed: 'My teen crush was Justin Timberlake. Nineties Justin Timberlake, though; like, NSYNC Justin Timberlake. I remember when I bought the NSYNC CD and I was listening to it and I was flipping through. Remember how CDs had the pullout picture things? And I was getting so overwhelmed with hormones that I almost threw up.’ We hope J-Law’s feeling more love than sick right now!…

What’s Your Gym Personality? • GYM PHOBE You rarely step foot in a gym. You’re more of a 'slow run with friends’ kinda gal. Maybe the odd class. Always followed by brunch, OF COURSE. • EXERCISE ENTHUSIAST You’ll always make time for a few gym sessions each week; yoga, spin, Body Pump – you’ve tried them all. • FITNESS FANATIC Your gym routine is nailed; no one messes with it. Regular HIIT sessions alongside well-structured resistance training make you a total pro. BUM The Move: SQUATS • GYM PHOBE Bodyweight squats Take feet slightly wider than hip width apart, keep torso long and then, pushing the knees out slightly, squat down and drive back up. • EXERCISE ENTHUSIAST Goblet squats Hold a kettlebell or dumbbell to increase resistance – and…

Pick Your Food Persona… NUTRITION NEWBIE You recently made the transition from white rice to brown rice and you know that dark chocolate is the wise choice. There’s a bag of chia seeds lingering in the cupboard too. • SWAP Vegetable oil for coconut oil Want to avoid Hawaiian-tropic flavoured roasties? Opt for an odour-free one such as Biona Organic Coconut Oil Cuisine. • SWITCH Sugary cereal for wholegrain oats Sugary cereals leave you hungry after a few hours. Whole oats are slower to break down and keep you going for longer. Plus, they’re rich in vitamins. • TRY Raw chocolate Ditch the Milky Bar. Raw cacao – the unroasted form of cocoa, is rich in nutrients including magnesium for healthy muscles and bones. It’s also high in antioxidants. •…

DEBENHAMS BEST OF THE BRAS A sports bra can make or break your workout, but Debenhams’ designs offer way more than just support. We mean, just look at them… MARKS & SPENCER MODEL MUSCLES It was this time last year that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley launched her sportswear range for M&S and it’s gone from strength to strength (pun intended). It started off with a dance-inspired theme and now there’s something for every workout. Think supportive racer-back vests and breathable mesh fabrics with supermodel style. We love. H&M MOTIVATION STATION We’re not sure if you’ve heard, but plastering inspo over your clothes is basically the same as having a PT. Looking in the mirror every five minutes is key – just try to keep it subtle… NEXT FIGHT BRIGHT Kobox, FightKlub, BoxFit……

1 Saying Bye To Your Bed There’s no harder goodbye than abandoning your duvet on a winter morning, but things get slightly easier when you know there’s food waiting for you downstairs. Do yourself a favour and prepare a delicious breakfast the night before. It’ll leave you more than happy to bounce out of bed. 2 Back-To-Work Blues Heading back to the office after Christmas brings everyone back down to earth with a bump. And there aren’t even any biscuits on the desk now as everyone’s on a diet. Invest in a pretty new desk accessory, like a framed photo or a cute cactus. It might ease the pain (slightly). 3 Rainy Days Let’s face it, opening the curtains to torrential rain is probably an accurate forecast for the next…

If you’re anything like us and the aftermath of the festive season has left you uninspired where exercise is concerned, this ought to get you back on the straight and narrow. River Island’s become our one-stop shop for fitness attire that doesn’t scrimp on the fash factor, and its latest offering doesn’t disappoint. Forgoing neon in favour of a sleek grey, white, black and blue colour palette, the 11-piece collection features a mash-up of cosmic, oriental and camo motifs, plus an insanely cool slogan vest. Don’t be fooled, though; its fancy façade doesn’t make up for lack of functionality. Quite the opposite. The elastic waistbands ensure a perfect fit, while the breathable mesh is designed to keep you cool. The kit’s so good, you’d be forgiven for wanting the lot;…

Binky Felstead loves to talk. We could honestly spend all day with her discussing anything and everything, but top of our agenda is her becoming the new face of Reebok – a pretty big coup for the 26-year-old Made In Chelsea star. What we love about Binks is that while she loves working out – 'high intensity is my fave’, she tells us – it’s as much about the mental as it is the physical. And, much like us, she’s still figuring out how to be an adult – and her mum’s still teaching her how to cook… Hi, Binky! How did your new gig with Reebok come about? I’ve always loved Reebok. I went to their Be:Fit festival – I loved all the team, we got chatting and amazingly…

1 STAR BUY OF THE WEEK As far as first impressions go, this spritz gives off nothing but good vibes. Of course, the achingly cool retro bottle will significantly up your #shelfie game, but don’t be fooled – it’s so much more than just a pretty face. Featuring sparkling top notes of bergamot, lemon and lily of the valley, it smells just as good as it looks. And, perhaps with the exception of David Gandy, there aren’t many things you can say that about.

Ever since Valentino’s ballerinas seemed to float down the catwalk – with soft polonecks worn underneath their velvet dresses, satin shoes laced around their ankles, hair firmly bunned – it seems that the world, sartorially speaking at least, was born to dance. Some labels, like Zara and H&M, were so overtaken by the urge to demi-plié that they released entire lines of ballet-inspired separates and delicate chiffon frocks. From the prettiest of tulle skirts to wrap dresses to indulgently soft knits, the rest of the high street also has a ballet bounty so vast it seems futile to try to resist. If tulle isn’t your bag, channel Miu Miu’s ribbon-adorned flats instead, thanks to Zara’s silver shoes complete with a black ribbon tie. Failing that, a wrap-front cardigan will look…

Having walked out of 2016 as the world’s highest paid female actress for the second year running, worth a staggering £36.2 million, there’s no stopping Jennifer Lawrence. Whether it’s on or off screen, the 26-year-old actress – who most recently starred in Passengers and is currently filming Russian spy thriller Red Sparrow, to be released in November – has never lacked body confidence. It’s something that’s no doubt caught the eye of J-Law’s string of admirers, including her new beau, director Darren Aronofsky, who’s 21 years older than her. The pair went public with their relationship in November following rumours that they were secretly hooking up. An insider tells Look : 'Jennifer has changed a lot since she started dating Darren. She’s crazy about him and is trying to put…

“Striving to be the best can be counterproductive” It’s Friday night. My friends are in the pub downing Sauvignon Blanc, swapping lipsticks and planning where they’re going out. Me? I’m in basement, on a treadmill, sweating. Luckily the music is so loud no one can hear me gasping for breath. All around me are perfectly tanned, toned women in matching bralets and shorts. I, on the other hand, am lumbering along in a Hard Rock tee which has stuck to my three-year-old sports bra. So why am I, the girl who once got a taxi to the end of her road to buy more brownie mix, spending my Friday at Barry’s Bootcamp, a high-intensity workout favoured by celebs such as Ellie Goulding, the Beckhams and Kim Kardashian? Because, despite the…

CRAWLING We’ve seen the odd bear crawl on a Joe Wicks Youtube vid but always thought it looks a bit…odd. You’re going to be a crawling expert this year, though. Bear and baby crawls are great for mobility, strength and fat burning and even gives your core a pretty good workout too. Winner all round, we reckon. SLACKLINING You’ll need to remain focused for this balancing act. Hint: it’s not a good move on a hangover. Similar to walking on a tightrope, slacklining involves walking along a strip of webbing fixed above the ground. If you want to work your core and improve balance, add this to your weekly workout list. SLEEPING Not really a move as such, but completely essential to wellbeing. Health and fitness experts will be encouraging…

Couture Creepy Crawlies Embellished insects, bejewelled bugs – whatever you call them, just wear them. ASOS’s Ode To Alberta Ferretti Alberta Ferretti’s SS17 catwalk made us completely reconsider our boho maxis, and it’s all thanks to the corset belt. Update yours with ASOS’s own waist-cincher and team with tights and ankle boots while it’s still Baltic. BACK-TO-FRONT KNITS Possibly this season’s best bargain buy, these cosy knits can be worn two ways, essentially giving you a 2-for-1 deal on your new jumper. DIY DENIM Just when you thought your jeans couldn’t be updated any further, along comes Tokyo-based brand Muveil with its furry trims. The label launched in 200 7 and is becoming a cult hit. If your Jan budget won’t stretch, try Topshop’s feathers. Or get out the glue…

1. Rosa Salazar AGE: 31 STATUS: Actress Rosa first appeared on our screens after landing recurring roles in two hit TV series, American Horror Story and Parenthood. And it wasn’t long before she was snapped up for the big screen, starring in both Insurgent and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials in 2015, and Submerged in 2016. This year, she’s returning to the Maze Runner series in The Death Cure, plus she’s bagged herself the leading role in James Cameron’s Alita: Battle Angel, so expect some kick-ass martial arts skills. FACT: As a teen, Salazar went from homeless to homeowner, so that proves the girl has ambition. She says: ‘I told myself when I was broke and homeless that my biggest goal was just to have a house. That goal was…
